Floor Glands Starting At $ 69.00 Each- (100 or more- $ 89.00 each) Cannon Air Lokk-Floor Glands- Floor Grommets-Raised Floor Grommets- Raised Floor Glands- Raised Floor Grommets- Cannon is addressing the cooling infrastructure demands in today's raised floor data center grommet and raised floor glands and environment with a full line of airflow management and in-floor cooling solutions. The continued adoption of high density equipment, virtualization and cloud computing strategies requires the cooling infrastructure of a data center to be capable of adapting to high and often variable heat loads while offering superior energy efficiency. The line of in-floor rasied fllor grommets and raisde floor glamds and cooling products for raised floor data centers can nearly eliminate by-pass air and save significant energy. Using directional airflow and variable-air-volume dampers your data center can instantly react to any variation in utilization to match cooling with the heat load at the rack level. Tate can also provide fan assisted airflow to eliminate hot spots or implement high-density equipment in a current raised floor facilities without significant capital investment.

In addition, Cannon offers a a full line of raised floor glands and raised floor containment systems and air sealing grommets designed to help reduce by-pass airflow, improve energy efficiency and increase data center capacity. More information about each of our data center products can be found below.

ATS is now your leading USA distributor of Cannon data center grommets, data center floor glands and are more efficient that the Kold Loc series of brushed raised floor grommets.

The Challenge

Even a fully populated cabinet can lose in the region of 50% of cooling air through escape routes which are outside the perimeter of the 19-inch equipment field. This causes massive wastage of cooling energy, increasing carbon footprint and reduces the cooling effect of the Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC).

The Solution

Cannon's Air Management solutions effectively closes these escape routes ensuring that cooling air flows only through the active equipment present in the cabinet. Significant energy savings can be achieved and the CRAC will be less stressed, improving efficiency.

One AIR-LOKK gland can be either "surface mounted", "drop in" (into the cut out in the tile) or retro-fitted around pre-installed cables reducing the range of glands required

Locking Cold Air Flow Away from Hot Air

Two issues are of significant importance to separate Cold and Hot Air via any floor grommet,floor gland- rasied floor grommet- raised floor gland....i.e.

Cold air pressure should not lift the brush strip seal and escape

Hot air should not be sucked downwards into the cold air flow

Note: IPACK 2001-15728ASME advises that grommet/tiles near the CRAC unit often experience negative air flow from inside the rack, pulling hot air down into the cold air stream.

AIR-LOKK grommets have been laboratory tested and brushes did not lift or flap until an air pressure of 1500 pascals (0.44" water gauge) was reached. Underfloor static pressure is commonly 6 pascals (0.025" water gauge). AIR-LOKK grommets substantially exceed the common static pressure with a high safety factor.

Unique Brush Gland

The brush gland is pre-stressed to resist air pressure. The patented system provides firrm support to both ends of the brush and the brush tips press down, onto the radiused sides of the grommet, acting like leaf springs. This imparts greater resistance to air pressure.

Cannon Grommets Cost Benefits:

Increases existing cooling unit capacity

Reduces the need to purchase additional cooling units

Improves equipment reliability and extends equipment life

Increases static pressure under the raised floor and improves cool air delivery through perforated tiles or floor grates

Your IT equipment is generating more heat than ever and the cost to cool that equipment is increasing. According to The Uptime Institute, Inc. electricity consumed by IT equipment is the primary driver of data center infrastructure costs. Based on measurements at multiple data centers, 50 - 80% of valuable conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed cable openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to equipment hot spots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs. Sealing cable openings is an essential component of IT equipment reliability and availability.

By installing KoldLok Raised Floor Grommets, you can optimize the effectiveness of your existing cooling equipment and manage the increasing heat loads. The patented KoldLok sealing system specifically addresses bypass airflow and its detrimental effects on data center cooling.
